FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers. If yours isn't here, call or message us.
Breakdowns
Do you really answer 24/7?
Yes. Our phone is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Out of hours, call anyway: you'll reach the engineer.
How quickly can you get to me?
Our breakdown response target is to be on site within 6 hours of your call, and contract customers get priority. We'll give you an honest arrival time when you ring.
What should I do with my stock while I wait?
Keep doors shut, move high-risk food to working equipment if you can, and record product temperatures. Chilled food must be kept at 8°C or below by law in Northern Ireland.
Maintenance & compliance
How often should refrigeration be serviced?
At least once or twice a year for most commercial equipment, and more often for busy kitchens, cold rooms and plant.
Which F-Gas rules apply in Northern Ireland?
EU F-Gas Regulation (EU) 2024/573 applies directly in NI under the Windsor Framework. Great Britain has a separate regime. Read our F-Gas guide.
Can you help with HACCP and audits?
Yes. Our service reports and temperature checks support your HACCP plan and are ready for EHO visits and customer audits. HACCP itself stays with your business.
Do you keep F-Gas records for me?
We complete the records after every visit. As the operator, you need to keep them for at least 5 years. We can hold copies too.
